18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Public Displays Of Affection
A pair of Wandering Albatross renewing their vows after a year apart from each other. Wandering albatross have a reputation as being majestic in the air and clumsy on land but when you see and hear these birds displaying to each other, although its a little ridiculous its equally as majestic. They use every mm of their 3.5 metre wingspan and every note of their vocal range in a bid to impress their mates.
